"NSF Backs Rice Processor Design, Chip Security Research"

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Rice University computer scientists two grants to explore new information processing technologies and applications. One of the grants supports the development of a formal specification-based, programmable data stream processor that can analyze input from physical, biological, and other systems, enabling real-time monitoring and informed decision-making in various contexts, including cybersecurity applications. The second grant supports the development of a programmable hardware monitor to improve microchip security and prevent malfunctions caused by inadvertent fabrication errors, intentional hardware backdoors, Trojan circuit modifications, and more. This article continues to discuss the projects.
